Abstract
The crystallization kinetics of glassy Se98Ag2 alloy is studied at different heating rates (5, 10, 15, and 20 K min−1) using differential scanning calorimetric technique. Endothermic and exothermic peaks are obtained at glass transition (T g) and crystallization temperature (T c). Four iso-conversional methods (Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO), Tang and Straink) were used to determine the various kinetic parameters (crystallization temperature T α , activation energy of crystallization E α, order parameter n) in non-isothermal mode.
